"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 d'Agassac lets out notes of crushed blackberries, cassis and warm plums, as well as hints of graphite, lavender and kirsch. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly stylized with crisp black and red fruits and lovely freshness, textured by soft tannins, and finishes with a step forward." (Wine Advocate 2021) Delivery in wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
This elegantly structured wine already shows good balance between its tannins and generous blackcurrant fruit. The structure will allow it to age, promising a civilized wine that will be ready from 2023.

About the wine:
Dapper color, powerful nose of blueberry and fine leather, a touch of shoe polish, the palate asserts itself with its elegance, finesse and juiciness. Delicious sour cherry flavors, evanescent tannins, hints of toast, a delicate, lacy whole. A graceful, sapid bottle with great potential. This historic estate has managed to evolve towards a contemporary style, and has everything it takes to win over wine lovers. A monument of elegance.
